Call for contributions to publication

Towards the Future Internet - Emerging Trends from European Research

The Future Internet continues to gather momentum in the scientific and industrial community.  The Future Internet Assembly (FIA) consists of more than 90 projects which have now signed the undefinedBled Declaration. On April 14-16 2010, with the support of the Spanish EU Presidency, the fifth Future Internet Assembly will take place in Valencia.

We would like to mark this milestone with a second scientific book containing the best results of European Future Internet research, in the same vein as the first edition published concomitantly with FIA Prague last May 2009.

We therefore invite submissions in the form of extended abstracts (max. 4x A4 pages) of high quality papers in all areas of research related to the Future Internet. In particular, we strongly welcome papers which could address cross-domain topics of the main thematic areas of the FIA, such as networking architectures, content networks, services and applications, interactions with the real world, as well as integral areas such as socio-economics, trust and identity, experimental research and large-scale testbeds.

We also strongly encourage submissions from industry covering both the state of practice and real-world experiences related to possible Future Internet design(s). Industrial papers should describe innovative implementations, novel applications as well as insights and improvements to the state-of-art. Case studies from practitioners emphasizing applications, technology, system deployment, organizational ramifications, or business impact are especially welcome. Final papers should provide sufficient details on the application domain, the techniques used, the issues surrounding actual implementations and applications, and the lessons learned in the field.

Selection process

The selection process will be executed in stages and will combine the results of a peer review process and the opinion of the FIA constituency, assuring originality, foresight and a balance of topics.

In the first stage extended abstracts will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the programme committee. Selection criteria include: overall contribution to the Future Internet, clarity and originality of concepts or ideas, technical accuracy, the significance of results, and the overall quality of presentation.

The best contributions will be invited to present their paper at a poster session during the undefined4th Future Internet Assembly which will take place in Stockholm on 23-24 November 2009. At the poster session, the FIA constituency will be invited to express its opinion on the contributions. The opinion of the FIA constituency will be used to invite the best contributions for the development of full papers.

At the Future Internet Conference in Valencia, best contributions will be presented with an award.
